Caption

A clip from a scientific model showing how iron atoms are expected to move about in the Earth’s inner core over 10 picoseconds. The lines represent the path of the atom as it moves over time. The model is based on an AI algorithm accounting for tens of thousands atoms. One picosecond is one trillionth of a second.
